[PATCH RESEND net] net: mv643xx: fix OF node refcount

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

Platform devices created with platform_device_alloc() call
platform_device_release() when the last reference to the device's
kobject is dropped. This function calls of_node_put() unconditionally.
This works fine for devices created with platform_device_register_full()
but users of the split approach (platform_device_alloc() +
platform_device_add()) must bump the reference of the of_node they
assign manually. Add the missing call to of_node_get().

Where is it released? I think it's important to note, I can amend
the commit message if needed..
